One of the results of the Jate contest over the election of the cor ‘of the Department of the Potomac was two appeals. These were sent to the commander-in-chief, John M. Palmer, and his decision, as announced through the Judge advocate general, has been received here. Dephrtment Commander Dinsmore hae embodied there decisions in a circular which will be sent to the various Posts of the department here. It will be recalled that at the twenty-fourth an- nual encampment of the Department of the Potomac, held in this city several months ago, A. F. Dinsmore and S. E. Faunce were the leading candidates for election as department — commander. Mr. Dinsmidre was declared elected, but objec tons was made on several grounds, —_. how: ever, were not sustained department Mr. Dinamore waa installed. 48 TO DINSMORE’S ELECTION. Dissatisfied with the action of the depart- ment some of the questions in dispute were brought on appeal to the attention of the com- mander-in-chief and his decision in the two cases have been received. The appeal of Fred Thompson of Post 1 was against the installation of the so-called officers of the department, on that a ques- tion has arisen as to the logelty of the elections Jn his decision upon the appeal the judge ad- vocate general, Joseph W. O'Neall, states: “After careful review of the record in this case I am of the opinion that the appeal must be dismissed and that Comrade Dinsmore must be held to be the duly elected, installed and de Jure department commander of the De ment of the Potomac, Grand Army of the Re- public.” ‘MR. FAUNCE'S APPEAL. ‘The other appeal was made by S. E. Faunce against the action of the department in con- demning the circular known as the “Brooks circular.” Tagres with Comrade Fasnce that agree with Comrade Faunce that a post or department encampment cannot, by resclation, censure or reprimand a comrade; that a com- rade can only be disciplined in accordance with the rules and regulations, chapter 5, article 6. | If, therefore, the resolution as offered and | adopted can be construed as a censure, con- | demnation or reprimand the point of order must be sustained. In my opinion such is not a fair construction of said resolution. A department encampment has the right to sustain its dignity and by reso- lution to resent a reflection cast upon it by one of ite members. These two decisions dispose of the questions at issne in the department arising the recent elections, although, of course, there is @ right of appeal from the ruling of the com- mander-in-chief to the encampment, which meets here in September. oe aebioerinn DISTRICT GOVERNMENT.
